Hierarchical Approval
Note: You can set Hierarchical Approval only for the Trips, Reports, Purchase Requests, and Request for Quotes modules.
If your organization follows a simple, direct approval process, you can choose Hierarchical Approval in Zoho Spend. The Hierarchical Approval flow will be based on the approvers configured in the Reporting To field of the employees.
